Fostering a safe ecosystem – malicious and prohibited products:

  • Violation reference ID: Blue Copper
  • Violation: Providing unauthorised access to content behind paywall restrictions in the following site(s):
    • Extension providing unauthorized access to content restricted by payments. Opening the article in Medium.com is asking to upgrade the plan by paying a certain amount. Whereas using the extension is able to access the content freely by redirecting to Freedium.
  • How to rectify: This functionality is not allowed per Chrome Web Store policies. If this was the single purpose of your extension, it will not be allowed back in the Chrome Web Store.
  • Relevant section of the programme policy:
    • Do not facilitate unauthorised access to content on websites, such as circumventing paywalls or login restrictions. (learn more)

Hopefully the Firefox one can stay up.
